Perfect Getaway House!
This is the best short-term rental house I've ever stayed in. The experience from beginning to end was easy and seamless; the owner is lovely. The house is perfectly appointed with great linens and plenty of kitchen supplies. It is comfortable and homey and there is no beating the view. Overall, it was lovely and we hope to return soon.

Best Trip on Vrbo Yet
Incredibly beautiful house and setting right on the sound. Playing bags on the back lawn with the sun setting over the water was a moment I’ll never forget. The house is over 100 years old so it has a quirk or two, but it more than makes up for it with all of its charm and comfort—the beds were all incredibly comfortable. Jane is a great host as well. I look forward to staying here again!

Day Island slice of heaven
This property was perfect for my wife's family to come over & hang out with everyone. We were very fortunate with the extraordinary weather of 70's & 🌞 all week. The marine life is abundant & sunsets are so peaceful on the Sound. Nice amenities to the house & the property owner Jane has open lines of communication. She grew up there with her family. Great house for family get together's on Day Island.

Unparalleled View of the Salish Sea
This old house has a lot of character, and is decorated with charm and comfort in mind. Everything you need is available, and if you can't find it then the owner is within easy reach to help you. Beds are comfortable with ample pillows and coverlets. There is ample supply of plush towels and hot water for showers. We did have some trouble moderating the temperature in the upstairs, and the front bedroom experiences direct train noise several times in the early morning. Blackout shades in that bedroom would be a welcome addition as the sun rises on that side of the house. We didn't want to leave the expansive view of the water from the main bedroom, and from the 'observation lounge' where we took our morning coffee; binoculars provided for checking out the harbor seals and porpoises. Furnishings are definitely "Period-pieces", which added to the character of the house, and the flooring does squeak as old houses do. If you have mobility issues, the stairs can be a challenge. Note also that the home has safety grab bars in the bathrooms. TV is large-screen flat panel, and we had no issues using the WiFi.
